2025 UFA Sonata Competition Repertoire
This season, we will be adding a sight-reading component to the Sonata Competition. It is an optional event that comes with each level, and the sight-reading winner of each level will receive an additional certificate. There will not be an additional cash prize for this component, but it will be a great opportunity to sight-read under pressure and receive feedback. To opt in, simply select “Yes” under the sighting-reading question when you register. Good luck!
